Normalfags don't like mechanical complexity, they look pleasant looking but shallow games. That's why Skyrim, The Witcher 3, RDR2, OoT, E33 and the like are popular.

morrowinds map in particular was really good. compared to oblivion and skyrim it feels hand crafted. Instead of pointless vast space its designed more tightly with terrain snaking around so that points of interest are actually fairly close to each other, but traveling to them is still an epic adventure because you need to go around/through things. Ive not encountered a better open world in video games. All of them tend to just feel like generic empty space with points of interest sprinkled around by comparison.

Because of the engine.
Every single Bethesda game always has Game Abbreviation Script Extender as one of it's most popular mods. This is because the API exposed by the engine that their developers are using, is incredibly restrained. They're using an API that is missing a bunch of shit because the people writing code for gameplay aren't programmers, they just know basics and the engine limits what they have access to, to avoid their bad code being too big of a bottleneck.

On top of that, because they don't have gameplay programmers and it's the artists, writers, quest designers and level designers writing the code, the code is a lot less complex and reactive.
Their methodology is that if you're making a quest, you should write all the code needed for it. The problem of this is that their employees aren't hired as a programmer that is a writer, they're hiring writers and giving them rudimentary lessons. They don't have the writer detail what's going on and what they want to happen to a gameplay programmer who then makes it exist, they simply can't code the thing and so it never gets into the game.

No, from Emil's many talks about their development process.

There's this weird thing where you retards like to make yourselves seem smart by saying "actually it's not the engine" because it implies you know anything about the engine, it makes you sound smart to yourself. The problem is because the API exposed for the team isn't enough. Anytime some mod for a Bethesda game adds something actually game changing, something actually inventive and impressive, it's using a script extender because they need access to more of the API to make it happen.

>>727794220
Elder scrolls was originally created and designed as a simulator/rpg. This is why daggerfall is the best TES game by a mile.

Morrowind isn't complex. It's obtuse. The combat is just as advanced as skyrims or oblivions, just with a hitchance percentage. You don't need to eat. You don't need to repair your gear. Most things (does anything) don't have time limits.

The "complexity" of morrowind is just the game not telling you anything about its mechanics and making you wander around a lot with complex interiors and no markers. That is a value, but that isn't complexity.

If TESVI isn't atleast KCD2 level of complexity and simulation I probably won't even buy it, and I've played every tes game (including mobile titles, I bought an Ngage)

You say this, yet rate Daggerfall so highly, curious when you've just outed yourself as clearly never having played it.
>>
>>727810424
Although the fact that Morrowind is more streamlined is technically true and it'd be great if we could somehow have Daggerfall level complexity in a quality contemporary quality Tes game, Daggerfall itself is very much a case of quantity of quality and it's, in reality, a very dull and repetitive experience that I very much doubt anyone genuinely enjoys actually playing more than Morrowind.
Anyone that says it's the 'best' I really question since you're either saying it's better because there's an imaginary 'ideal' version that doesn't exist but you compare the latter games to. This has become a relatively popular meme in the last few years (I think because of some youtube videos) but, personally speaking, I'd take Todd's quality over quantity direction any day of the week
I will say that ever since the unity version of Daggerfall released and all the new mods that has accompanied that has enormously improved the underlying game.

are Bretons just medival Fr*nch all about chivalry and cooking, or are they some shitty fantasy magocracy?
>>
>>727812018
>Today, the social structure of the Bretons has divided itself into a poor middle class and destitute peasantry, a magical elite separate from their squalor, and an often incoherent jumble of nobility and ruling families above them all.
>Youths of all professions and trades in High Rock spend their free time in knightly pursuits, real and imagined, performing good deeds and the like for all and sundry, in oft-vain efforts to achieve, one day, a noble status. This "quest-obsession," more than anything, has served as High Rock's sense of national identity, a peculiar form of altruism and mutual reliance that binds its people together.
>Most Bretons share an affinity for magic wrought, no doubt, by their lamentable intermingling with the Elves.
>In the richer, more urban centers of the Iliac Bay, it has been systematically organized along the hierarchical lines of the Mages Guild. Children are tested for their magical potential at an early age, and those who pass enter apprenticeship programs funded by the Guild itself, or through independent sponsorship.
>In more remote regions, such as Glenpoint and the Wrothgarian Mountains, witches and medicine men, barely distinguishable from Orcish shamans, hold sway over the superstitious peasants with feats of untutored, but often impressive, magical ability.

The intended idea I guess is that mages form a sort of meritocratic second middle class, almost like a feudal guild-based version of mandarin bureaucrats, and then everyone else below them who can't hack it as a wizard goes around trying to be a knight-errant to prove themselves. But I do agree the Bretons got the short end of the stick in the Redguard/Morrowind era lore rewrites.

Repair hammers exist, but you never have to use them. I just sell them for gold. You'll get more armour.

It's not like KCD2 where your gear is shot in 2 fights if you take some hits, or Daggerfall where I dungeon will most likely break all but the strongest weapons and seriously wear most armour.

What? The story is kino but only really good for a couple of runs, but the dungeons and quests are infinite and infinitely enjoyable. Dungeons are probably some of the best in gaming besides 1 or 2 bullshit sections, but you'll learn how to bypass them quickly. Once you know to interact the sabrecat skull in that one module you're good.

I will concede that the Unity remake is better though. The higher resolution is nice and the mods go a long way for providing late-game goals and rewards besides the original "goal" (the largest ship or a house you can do nothing with in daggerfall or your favorite town)

I wonder if the existence of Alfiq means people in Tamriel have a more positive view or negative view of stray cats.

I just want to remind everyone that this motherfucker didn't have a single damn book, story or fanfic to his name prior to joining Bethesda. He was a game reviewer for a web magazine. He wrote several favorable reviews for Bethesda games, and then he got hired.

This is how I like to play. Hammer does big damage and has high durability (technically daikatana is meta, but eh), and light armour. Ill pick up armour in the dungeon, then either drop it or sell it later. minimizes repairs, maximum loot.

You can go all hand to hand, or also scavenge a weapon, but bringing in a quality weapon helps a lot

speed affects swing speed. dont let it fall behind, even if youre rping.

Morrowind wasn't complex, it was just a lot more freeform. You were allowed to slap things together and slap things to death, but that's basically it. Hell, a lot of the game is just Persuading or Killing things, with a lot of depth and application of alternate solutions to shit being woefully absent. Later Elder Scrolls games mostly just added more structure at the cost of being more locked down, for better and worse.

The way I see it, Morrowind is only "more complex" in its immediately available writing, but the degree to which you can interact with it also lets you down. Morrowind's dialogue is almost purely informative, convincing them is just pumping their relationship meter, and the game generally doesn't do much to recognize your actions, so you end up being less capable of interacting with the world than a far less interesting entry in the series like Skyrim.

Bethesda's philosophy has changed a lot, specifically because of the successes of Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3.

Morrowind gave them a taste of mass appeal by taking their weird, niche, Gnosticism-informed D&D homebrew mainstream.
Oblivion showed them they could make a fuckton of money if they mediated the esoteric elements and made the gameplay less technical.
And Fallout 3 and Skyrim showed them that what most of the market really wants are vibes-driven rollercoaster experiences that care more about checking boxes and doing flashy things than telling an excellent story in a coherent world. That's for the nerds who liked shit like the original Fallout games, or even, ugh, Daggerfall.

Of course, New Vegas must have given them pause, but considering most aspects of Fallout 4 were received well, barring one or two, they felt comfortable doubling down on the rollercoaster mentality for Starfield. And that didn't turn out well because there was no substance, and Todd Howard's self indulgent scope creep brainworms didn't help.
>>
>>727819549
Daggerfall is absolutely not for nerds who like an excellent story in a coherent world though. I swear to god nobody who glazes that game has played it.

Daggerfall is for reading the manual and imagining how cool it is.

I really love Daggerfall, but this post does nothing to make me think you've played it. DF combat is almost identical to Morrowind's, if anything your hit chance is typically much, much worse and that's the only thing making fights take longer than 2s. Even at 100 AGI with 50 in a skill, your hit chance in DF is still quite low.
Equipment durability is almost a non-factor in DF as well, especially compared to how it is in Morrowind and Oblivion. Obviously you don't need to eat or sleep. Time limits are pretty much completely trivial because you only take 1 quest at a time and the limit is usually 2-3x what you actually need to fast travel (you aren't walking, don't even pretend) with a horse to the dungeon, kill the monster/pick up the item/get the guy and ride back to the guild. The main quest has no time limits until you start one, so you can just go fuck around doing guild stuff until you want to do the main quest (why would you).
I assume you are making a joke in reference to the 'complex interior and no markers' aspect of Morrowind since you are comparing it to Daggerfall which randomly generated shit like picrel sometimes. That's also the fun of DF, but it is essentially the only thing you do in the game. DF is basically a dungeon-crawling simulator with a world built around it. You get incentivized to go to specific dungeons by doing guild quests which pay you a pittance compared to the money you'll make just from picking up gear and enchanted items inside the dungeon. Morrowind's dungeons have specific purposes with hand-placed enemies and loot, and oftentimes a quest attached to them where somebody actually tells you what they want and they'll either say where it is or it will be trivial to find in such a small place. Unmodded DF is sometimes hellish, running up and down hallways spamming M1 on every inch of every wall until you find a hidden door with the jpeg of a cloak you were sent here for.

I hit the character limit and was satisfied with what I wrote so I didn't feel like making a second post. Bots also don't grab screencaps of random DF dungeons. I can only assume you're referencing the KCD2 part with me 'not reading' your whole post but not only did I run out of room, I didn't feel it necessary to address because Daggerfall does not have in-depth survival mechanics like eating and weapon repair is something you do like once every dozen played hours, if at all because you'll be trading up in materials before it even becomes relevant.
I can only assume you're giving such a lazy reply because you didn't feel like reading or addressing almost 400 words from somebody who actually knows what he's talking about. Here's my current modded DF profile in nexus btw.

no matter what race you pick you wind up with 100 in all stats and skills
only the racial passives matter
this means breton are objectively best

>>
>>727832307
>>most magicka
magicka becomes infinite and their vulnerability makes it harder to reach 100% magic resist, which i suppose is not actually that important.
you do not need to do any reequipping to get 100% sanctuary, which is total damage immunity, in morrowind. just some grand souls gems and some summon golden saint
>>
>>727832565
ill add, after getting 100% damage immunity, you then get a sword with 1 second lifetap and a strong damage on hit effect, which with the help of azuras star gives you infinite charges. Then what you want is a permanent levetation ring so you can travel with out issue.

This entire setup (minus azuras star) can be obtained with out a single combat fight if you know what you are doing

Its those alchemy weirdos who use alchemy for more than money making to facilitate this thing i have described who are the weirdos
>>
>>727832698
also the way to capture golden saints safely is to get the spell (one of the mushroom towers has it i cant remember which) and then spellcraft it to just a few seconds duration - i cant remember the exact number, but the golden saint ai always does the same thing and you can set it so that it despawns just before it would land its first attack if you start trying to kill it as soon as the summoning completes. this means if you fuck up and fail to kill it you are still safe.

You can fund all this by snagging the alchemy set from one of the mages guild (the town next to ebonheart) and using the alchemy ingredient vendor trick to become filthy rich selling potions.

You then control your levelups by picking major and minor skills as all the magic schools and making 1 cost training spells of those schools and practicing them indoors by a bed. Once you reach enough skill levelups to increase character level you spend your alchemy money on skill trainers to get enough for a 5x multiplier in a physical skill. then you raise your physical attribute and whatever skill you raised with the magic schools you were leveling with (dont mix school attribute types while leveling), with the last levelup in luck, of course.

remember to max endurance first.

Once you are 100% sanctuary, can one shot everything, and have all skills and stats 100. Then you can fight the mud crab and it dies easily.
>>
>>727832565
>you do not need to do any reequipping to get 100% sanctuary, which is total damage immunity
No it's not. It does nothing for magical damage.

This is true with video games in general. The market for video games has gotten way bigger. You have far more adults with disposable income that play video games. Many of which end up buying a ton of games they never even get around to playing.

The industry is far bigger than it used to be, so a lot of old classics like Banjo-Kazooie or Super Metroid have tiny sales numbers compared to some modern slop games that instantly get forgotten.
